Our Intergenerational Mentoring Program connects systems-impacted women with experienced mentors who offer guidance, support, and a network for success. This initiative includes comprehensive training and resources for mentors, ensuring they are well-prepared to nurture strong, lasting relationships that inspire personal and professional growth.
Mentorship is a powerful tool that fosters resilience, self-confidence, and career advancement, especially for women who have faced systemic barriers. Research shows that women with mentors are significantly more likely to secure promotions, hold leadership positions, and report higher career satisfaction. Additionally, intergenerational mentoring provides mutual benefits—mentors gain fresh perspectives and deeper connections, while mentees access valuable knowledge and social capital.
